<<Dumbledore...As we all know this means "Bumblebee". My personal 
take on this is that Dumbly, like a bee, is quiet and goes about his 
work diligently, except when anger is aroused, in which case we see 
his powerful "sting" and the full extent of his anger.>>

JKR says in one of the many interviews that it's because he goes 
around humming music to himself like a big bumblebee.  

And speaking of stings, isn't it true that a bee dies once it uses 
its sting?  I wonder what will happen to Dumbledore...
